Centergrove Orchard

We spent today at one of our favorite fall places, Centergrove Orchard.  It's such a fantastic place.  So fantastic that we spent over six hours there and the kids still weren't ready to leave.  The last couple years we have celebrated Nana's birthday there and today marked another gorgeous day with spectacular weather, sweetest company, giggles, and memories made.

The whole crew!!  The little one in the middle?  He's completely stolen our hearts.

Pedal tractors...

 The good ol' corn pool...

Air time on the jumping pillow...

 The ever so popular slide...

Maleah is such a trooper.  Ruby's got it made with her rock star siblings.

What a good nana!!

The big tractors are sooooo much fun, even for the adults...

Like I said, even for the adults. :)

Eva says, "Can I play?!"

On the porch for some homemade apple cider and apple cider doughnuts...

The one room schoolhouse...

 All the nursery rhymes...

 And, you know you are in Iowa, when you race goats and pigs.  

You know you are a redneck when you cheer them on and watch them six times...

What a great day!!

While there are a lot of us (we joke that we qualify as a daycare field trip), and we like to make silly faces and look nutty, we have the best time together.  These kids are truly the best; outstanding behavior and just a genuine love and desire to be together.  I'm really grateful.
